David Wroblewski will be visiting soon to blogalogue with me, but he’s a little too busy now being chased by the media. There’s a great review in today’s New York Times:

Of course, I already knew that it’s a great book. I was lucky enough to read a pre-publication edition of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, and I loved it right away. I taught the book last term in my Temple U “Sneak Peek” course, and all the students thought it was terrific. I’ve since been recommending it to anyone who will listen, and everyone who reads it loves it. You should read it too!

As Holden Caulfield famously said, sometimes you like a book so much, you wish you could just pick up the phone and give the author a call. That’s what this blog is all about. In tribute to J.D. Salinger’s indelible protagonist from The Catcher in the Rye, I’m going to contact authors whose books I’ve been reading, and ask them questions about their work, which I will then share with you in this blog. Feel free to post questions of your own in the comments section. Read on!

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.” --The Catcher in the Rye
